Sarah Conway-Dyer

I am an experienced counsellor who has worked with adults and young people covering issues including anxiety, bereavement, depression, loss, eating disorders, shame, anger, guilt, family relationships, childhood trauma, sexuality and gender, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

I initially trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor, I therefore work with non-judgement, empathy and genuineness to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. I tend to use an Integrative approach to find the best way to support each individual client. 

I have regular Supervision, this oversees my client work ensuring that I am working ethically and safely.

I started my Counselling journey working as a CRUSE Bereavement Volunteer visiting bereaved people in their own homes. I then went on to work as a Secondary School Counsellor. I also worked in a Further Education College where I was part of a team of Counsellors working with young people and adults. I helped to set up a counselling service for young people at SWEDA (Somerset and Wessex Eating Disorders Association).  

I am from an Arts Education background. Prior to training as a Counsellor I worked for Arts Charities and as an Art Teacher with children and adults.

I now have my own Private Therapy Practice offering online counselling  to adults.
